Why do some chefs actually put creativity and effort into their work, while others literally just copy paste the same menu and live on autopilot?

The lazy ones follow.
About 90% are followers.
Being a chef isn't exactly rocket science

>>16182915
how do you get your hand to make that shape?

>>16182915
How big of a problem is drugs in a professional kitchen setting?

Do people really spit and cum on food?

>>16182950
not him, but I've heard they do a fuckton of coke, even the successful ones

>>16182915
would you recommend becoming a chef? I am 28 and hate my job but always loved cooking and I am a pretty decent homecook.

>>16182915
How many invoices to you 'forget' last month to hit your food cost budget?
How many servers have you fucked in the walk-in? In the liquor room?
How much cocaine do you do on an average Saturday dinner service?
How old is the meat you use to cook family/shift meals?
What are the odds that your DMO is legal?

>>16182915
Is the saying about having too many chefs in the kitchen true?

>>16182950
Yea pretty bad.
Especially with the younger ones

>>16182950
Op here again.
No one spits and cums in food

>>16182995
Of course it is, but it's a metaphor. Too many people who think they're in charge means nothing gets done. There needs to be one person in charge of operations, whether it's a kitchen or the porta-potty company where your dumbass likely works.

>>16182982
Start off as a kitchen hand and see if you her a feel for it.

If you hate doing dishes and you feel you're above it, then it's the wrong job for you.
Not because you do dishes much, just need to get your head into the mindset that it's a subservient role and you're just cooking food for fuckwits.

>>16183006
what about free time, how much of that you get? Over here in spain people are lucky to get literally a day and a half a week, and on non weekend days, like half sunday and a monday. That shit is insane no one gets cucked this hard in pretty much any job in here. They make half decent money though.

>>16182988
What's DMO?

>>16182915
have you ever smelled the chair of a hot guest after she left?

>>16183029

Why are most culinary students massive faggots that will suck your cock every second of every day? why does the crackhead you picked up down the street to man the pizza station always cook better than culinary fags?

When did you decide you wanted to become a chef and what drove you to make this decision?

>>16183031
And if not, why not?

>>16183009
You're not OP.

Yes I always watch labour cost and keep everyone busy.
A good team will follow chain of command

>>16183037
Dropped out of school to become a kitchen hand.
Another chef encouraged me to learn the trade

>>16183042

>>16182915
How do you guys make good homemade pizza?
Is there a specific ingredient?
Is the Ooni Koda a meme?

>>16183027
I work 55 hours a week.
I usually always get 2 solid days off, but I do 11 hours a day 5 days a week

>>16183047
WTF, how dare you even OP when you are retarded dropout?

>>16183054
>do 11 hours a day 5 days a week
even if insane that's prefferable to 5.5 days a week

>>16183034
>why does the crackhead you picked up down the street to man the pizza station always cook better than culinary fags?
Kek. This guy /resto/ kitchens

Ain't that the truth. I've had ~20 years in shitty kitchens and the kids that are fresh out of culinary school (complete with 80K in debt) like to set up their stations and make certain that every piece of romaine is exactly the correct size. They're slow, they think they're 'cooking' when they're just executing shitty recipes. They'll complain about the plating, offer suggestions like "what if we added arugula to the Caesar salad?," and stare at their kives like they're some sort of Jedi inspecting the light saber. Fuck these people. In the ass. With a cactus.

On the other hand, take the illegal guy who walked in with a green card that he made with crayons and cardboard from a happy meal box. He'll make the stupid recipes perfectly, plating just like the picture. He'll be on time, in uniform and will bust his ass. He'll work hard, he'll learn to run two stations when it's slow. He'll throw down on dish when necessary. He will be a huge asset to the operation. And when you need another cook, just tell him you need a guy. Boom, he's there in an hour.

What are your favorite and least favorite things about your current job and/or career in general?

You clean your knives with soap and water, right?

>>16183180
I don't think I have a favourite. I just love to try new things or cook with fresh local produce.

Best lava cakes, just Google chocolate fondants

>>16183203
Not whole ones

>>16183288
Least favourite:
Long hours

>>16183315

>>16183417

>>16183434
Celery? Doesn't it make it worse?

>>16183434
>>16183443
some anon said there are special pinapple suplements to make your cum taste good, cause doing it by eating tons of pinapple is like crazy, as in you have to eat too much of it

>>16182915
Hehe how much do you make after 30 years?

>>16182915
Is it really like the military with all the YES CHEF NO CHEF nonsense?

>>16182915
What are you going to eat on the eve of your inexorable suicide?

>>16182915
How close are you to suicide?

>>16182915
How do I get out of here? 12 yrs experience, I should be going for sous chef level of a decent sized hotel or something but I can't bring myself to do it, I know I'd get the job but I also know I'd probably just hang myself one night in the cool room too. Everyone I know in this industry is a goddam failure, shit relationships, overweight, drug addicted, and can't hold a conversation outside of "Dude did you hear madison park is vego now?". I mean some of these dudes are fun and good guys but no one seems to be able to have a halfway successfully balanced life, its 100% devotion to cooking for other people and 'look how hardcore we all are working 90h weeks, oh btw im broke, still renting and earn way below the average national salary'. Even the chef/owners that make halfway decent money only look happy after they rail $300 of charlie. I regret doing this job, I also regret not secretly banging that 17yr old waitress before covid hit. How do you deal with these feels?

>>16183473
not him but when I run a pass I get people on the line to say it after I call a docket, and most good places I've worked do this, it just lets you know everyone is on the same page. After a while you just end up saying "yes chef" to everyone out of habbit, but its not required when your just talking to someone outside of service like how they all say 'sir yes sir' in full metal jacket. It can also be a sarcastic reply if someone lower than you asks you to do something that is beneath you.

>>16183372
forgot to say, thanks lad

>>16183484
literally just quit, idiot lmao

>>16183389
No, retards on here going on about muh patina or other bullshit. I always thpyght if detergent would ruin the steel you're using, food itself would be even worse on it

>>16183425
>christ, are you at making 6 figures at least?
Almost certainly not unless he's at a Michelin-star place in a major city

>>16183718
>>16183389
heard about using gin to give the final touch to the glasses/coups just to keep them clean and shiny

>>16183484

>>16183425
>christ, are you at making 6 figures at least?
oh no no dont tell him

>>16182915
What kind of kitchen experience. Prison, school, university canteen, fast food shop, ritz, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star - restaurant, catering etc. At least tell people what kind of branch you have worked in.

Question: What did you find is the best way to deal with people that just randomly walk into your kitchen? Or did that ever happen?

What are your favorite home cooked or comfort food meals? I mean hits your heartstring stuff to the daily whip something up quick. Especially the latter as I'm looking for really good quick prep ideas right now.

Also curious how many hostesses you've nailed.

>>16182918

well done nigger, well done

>>16185373
I wouldn't. I am certain all the ecelebs shitpost here. Where the fuck else can you relax, call someone a harmless pejorative, and post traffic generating content for zero-filter feedback? That is why this is my favorite board. I know Chef John is lurking in here somewhere calling someone a faggot.

>>16186742
>>16186734
see. fucking chef john posted this I know it.

>>16186729
>curious how many hostesses you've nailed

hello, ive been working in the food industry for a short while. Im pretty young but I got a really good opportunity to work for a month in a highly esteemed Michelin and Chateux-Relais. Is this the amazing opportunity to move up from Kicthen assistant to chef de partie experience wise? From a hiring perspective
